Engineering infrastructure of St. Petersburg: Investments and development prospects

Within establishing the framework of St. Petersburg infrastructure forum, Ville Paasonen, an expert in Facility Management (complex engineering and building maintenance), will deliver a speech.

This year's forum, taking place upon the initiative of "Business administration" magazine, will become a discussion site for relevant questions of dispute regarding infrastructure development of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region and meeting place for professionals and specialists in public and private partnership project development.

Ville Paasonen will make a presentation called "Engineering infrastructure of St. Petersburg:  Investments and development prospects".

The agenda will include a most interesting case. This is the experience of productive capacity allocation in Russia by one of the oldest Finnish family companies Are Oy that was completed for just a few years. 

For almost a quarter-century of fruitful work in new Russia, "Are" LLC has taken part in the implementation of more than one hundred large-scale projects.  The company has supplied engineering systems to such companies as Nokian Tyres, Swedwood IKEA factories, Heineken breweries, tobacco houses of Philip Morris, British American Tobacco concerns, Coca-Cola factory and many others production facilities of global and Russian corporations. 

"We are sensitive to the fact that besides Finnish quality, what market needs today from us is compliance with local specifics. For example, the market needs skilled and qualified adaptation of technical solutions according to the standards and rules of the Russian Federation.  The localization of the company in Russia and the focus on work with North-Western markets speaks of good prospects of its growth in general and of the city's possibility to attract new large-scale investments, assimilate approaches and form new business environment" — says Ville Paasonen. 

The presentation will take place on May 25 at 2 p.m. at the following address: ul. Shpalernaya, 56 Educational Resources Information Center SUE "Water services company of St. Petersburg".
